Letter to Liam
Happy New Year guys!!!!
Life has been good and I'm thankful to God for this year and very expectant...
Last year, I think I might have fallen in love...not too sure.
I had this friend who I talked for hours with on the phone, the one that sent me those flowers. Remember? yeah.
We talked about and shared our lives, well more of his if I am to be totally honest. Our friendship fizzled off and only last year did I learn what the facebook relationship status "it's complicated" means. :D Ah well, you live and you learn.
Here is a letter I wrote to work out my feelings during our complicated relationship. He he! I've been told letter writing is therapeutic...of course, I never sent it.
10.16.11
Dear Liam,
I am writing this letter because I need to unburden my heart. You are my friend, whom I like. I think you’re incredibly honest, intelligent even though you deny it all the time.
Most days I think of you, fondly, I wake up and you’re on my mind. I want to talk to you, hear you go on about medicine, your long hours, your attendings, your family, your life.
I want to hug you and share my first kiss with you. Most days I think I want to be Mrs. Neelam. Most days you confuse the heck out of me. You send me tulips for valentines, a teddy bear from your trip to Europe, a book just because…
I fall in love with you, I flirt with you, and we’re still friends. Of course I won’t say I have a crush on you, but can’t you tell? Why can’t you see it?
You say you think you’ll “stumble” into your next relationship, you don’t know that you’re ready for one. I don’t know that I’m ready for a relationship either and I understand where you are coming from. You say your relationship patterns have been like the plot of something borrowed, and it disturbs me but I get that too.
Most days I think I love you, most days I want to hug you, most days I want to see your face as you clear your throat at the absurd things and requests I say and make. But you’re a phone guy, you don’t do video chat…or so you think.
You’re about four hours away by plane and I haven’t seen you since 2006.
Someday you say, I don’t know when someday is. I don’t know that you know either.
I do know what my heart feels. I do know that I want to be a Proverbs 31 woman. I do know that I want to be “found”. I know I want to be held, loved, kissed, and treasured.
I am uncomfortable with the uncertainties that bind our relationship but at the same time I feel like time may bring enlightenment. My friends and family ask what we are doing. I say we are friends. Friends who occasionally flirt, friends who send flowers…
So maybe you’re just a nice guy, who sends his close friends flowers, or maybe you’re inadvertently flirting out of habit, I don’t know.
I probably shouldn’t make excuses for you, I should probably clarify, ask you why?
But why not? Because my heart is becoming an interwoven braid, every strand over another woven in confusion.
The only thing I am certain of is this, you are my friend.
And I may love you.
And I pray that God’s will be done.
Love, Adia.
P.S. - His name is obviously not Liam Neelam, but I like how it twists your tongue. :D

On M.I.'s "One Naira"
I'll be the first to admit that the melody of this song is nice, makes you want to sway and sing along...
BUT...
Dear Future Boyfriend,
I WILL NOT stay with you if you have just ONE naira, heck it's not even a US dollar! One measly naira!!! Heck No!!
I will stay with you but for so long, and in that time if you do not get yourself a JOB, I will be gone!
Let's face it, money is important. I will not drink/soak garri with you! Of course I will stay with you if you have one million, who no like better thing??
So, this is just a PSA for your benefit o, if you are still in that ofu naira category, I suggest you go and upgrade yourself.
P.S. - Now, if you were the husband, that is a different kettle of fish.
Signed,
Baby I-might-stay-with-you
Enjoy the video guys! I know I've been gone for a while, but I'm still here....

I Want To Be Happy
But I can't...
I want to believe he's happier, free from illness, soaring in glee
I am sad because he's gone...
My cousin, a literary giant in the making, the one who took the mills and boons I was mistakenly gifted and stated emphatically that I would not be corrupted, the one who teased me, our resident blogger....
I want to be happy...
Because I click on your facebook page and you are there smiling at me with your fine boy charm
But I can't because you are gone...
Earth to God...Why?

Talk to Dr.Who?
Dear ,Bumight Blogsville,
I have a persistent itch in my throat which is causing me to cough. My discomfort is seemingly unending! I can smell the watery catarrh in my nose (please, do not ask me how this is possible, all I know is I smell catarrh and it is not pleasant.) Also, even though I am scratching my throat on the outside it brings no relief on the inside (Yes, I know the outside and inside are two different things, but desperate times call for desperate measures). I have spoken to a nurse in the making and he told me it was an allergy that would pass and I should just sit it out (What???? after he refused to hook me up with a sugar daddy, two strikes in one night..but this is story for another post). After much prodding, he advised claritin. Now I want to know what the doctors (MDs)/ MDs in the making advise? Help!
P.S. - I know some of you are thinking this is a strategy for Adia to find the criteria-meeting Blogsville Dr. Bachelors and snatch them up, YOU ARE WRONG...he he
Hence, I will accept the advice of all and sundry.

On Christian Kane...
So, I have been thinking of Christian and a part of my heart or maybe head is telling me we are going to get married (please, stifle all raucous laughter). I truly think it may happen. For with God all things are possible.

Pressed but not Crushed
I feel this heaviness weighing me down, because I am internalizing
Because on the inside, I am crying
Because I am hurt, Because I think I deserve more
Because I find it unfathomable that you would say such words to me
Because at the end of the day, words are a piercing dagger
Because though I may seem like an armadillo on the outside, on the inside I am a marshallow
Because I know no one I can share my pain with, because I want to forget
Because I want to LET GO of the hurt I feel clogging my chest
Begging me to despise you, to hate you, to feel beholden to you
Telling me I shouldn't love you
Telling me that CHRIST is trite
Questioning my beliefs, my essence, ME....
So I am losing myself in this, and coming to you, broken, an amphora, a jar of clay.

Mr. Yamaguchi
^^^ The source of the heart bubbles (see below for explanation). My beef fajita in Delhi.
Dear Blogsville, I have come to give you an update about my love life. I have gone and fallen in love with Adam Yamaguchi. How do I know this you may ask, well every time I click on his profile on facebook - I find myself hiccuping and then my mouth gapes open like a dead fish, only love shaped bubbles float out of it (Okay, so this is a stretch even for my active imagination, but you get my drift) So what do you guys advise? Please pick from the options below.
ALL INTERACTION WILL OCCUR ON FACEBOOK
A) Hey Adam, I admire your work deeply and your drive. Do you wanna have dinner sometime? (via msg)
B) Hey Adam, I think you have amazing talent and your work is fabulous. Plus you are such a hottie! Marry me (lol)!! or perhaps dinner and drinks? (via msg)
C) Hey Adam, remember me? the Nigerian girl. Well, I am pregnant and my parents are threatening to disown and abandon me. Please get back to me asap. (I figured this would grab his attention..he he) (via wallpost of course!)
Please help a confused Blogger.
Peace, love, and blessings.
Adia Odemwingie Yamaguchi.

Today, He let me in albeit safely
MY BIRTH
Today, I am five years of a quarter of a century shy
Today, on a Wednesday two decades ago, she pushed and wept
My crowning head, curly and bloody
I came in, when he kissed and let go, a wailing infant marked by his seal
Today, two decades ago, I brought pain and then effulgent joy
Today, two decades ago, He let me in
